SUN B Fam S..

Remember the old settlers meeting
June 80.
The Farmers elevator has closed
| pusiness-for the present at least.
For sale or exchange for horse,
one yoke of heavy oxen. Enquire at
this office.
A game of ball between the fat and
leans would now be in order-before
melting temperature returns.
j. Berkin has added some costly
furniture to his saloon, and has re-
arranged and newly papered it.
A Loyal Legion entertainment will
be given in the Methodist church
next Tuesday evening, commencing
at O'Clock. All are invited.
The round elevator at Browns Val
ley, owned by Becker & Chadbourne,
was burned with 10000 bushels of
wheat last Tuesday. Loss 100000;
partly insured.
| Are we to have q celebration!
| seems to he mOoted question. If
| we are is it not about time to be NOV
ing in the matter! "What's the use
| of repining ETC."
The n. P. Ry. is to cross the river
at Grand Forks. The Plaindealer
says that the bridge will be begun at
once; that the line for the northwest
ern branch has already been located
and the graders are at work.
The ice cream and strawberry So
ciable given at the Windsor Hotel,
last Friday evening, by the ladies
aid society of the Congregational
church was largely attended and was
success financially and socially.
The gopher hunt suggested in THE
Sun last week is to take place next
Saturday between clubs Of twenty on
each side chosen by Chas. Winter
mute and A. DeKay as captains.
The losing side is to give supper at
the Metropolitan.
To keep postage stamps in the
pocket or memorandum book without
sticking, a New Orleans post office
| clerk advises people to rub the sticky
side over the hair two or three times.
The oil of the hair coats the mucll-
age and prevents it from sticking.
That THE SUN job department is
well equipped for doing job work
goes without saying. Merchants and
business men generally, who have
note heads, letter heads, bill heads,
envelopes, in fact anything in the job
printing line, will do we'll to remem-
Der this when they have work to be
executed.
Last Saturday, upon telegram
from Fergus Falls authorities. the
sheriff and village marshall arrested
a man outside of the town who an.
swered completely the description Of
the murderer of Lily Fields. There
was considerable excitement created
by the arrest but soon after he was
discharged upon telegram that the
right man was arrested about thirty
miles from the scene Of the murder.
A game of base ball was played be.
tween Morris and Roseviile, Grant
County, mines at the grounds of the
former in this village on Decoration
Day, resulting in score of % to 10
in favor of the Roseville nine. Look
ing at the score it is plainly evident
that more practice is needed. There
are several good ball players in Nor.
ris, and in the game on Monday many
splendid plays were made by both
mines. But they are SO badly in need
Of practice together and their errors
were 80 numerous and fragrant that
their opponents tally sheet need not
have been of very small dimensions.
This was the first game PLAYED this
season by the Morris nine, and it will
serve as a starter. It is probable
that they will get down to work now
and show the natives before the sea-
SON is ended that there are ball play
ers in Morris who are ball players.
During the game Henry Judson was
struck in the eye with the ball,
thrown by the pitcher. 1t was hard
blow, and for a while its results were
painful to Henry, but he escaped with
nothing more serious than a slight
